Even if its just some simple single family homes you can manage yourself.Take the next 5 years to hone in your landlording and business methods and pay off debt.

I agree with you and use many of the same methods.

You'll have that new loan to pay as well as the HELOC, so do the math and make sure you're covered, maybe consider a plan to pay the HELOC off ASAP with a refi or other method.

Goal for this house is to use the BRRRR method, I may not get all my money back out and that's ok for me.

At that time I had the brilliant idea that I should pay this off as fast as I can, and had several roommates over a 8 year period, and accomplished my goal of being 33 and mortgage free (perfect time to throw all my cash into a loan at 3.25% in a bull market.. mistakes were made) . 

I'm thinking of trying the BRRRR method.

If stong cashflow and you feel good about rental market than I agree the Brrrr method is more desirable.

If there is no serious problems in the next 15 or so years you could absolutely be correct that your method is superior.

Her desired method of using marijuana is not reasonable. 

It’s brilliant, really.
